Whether it’s heat, rain, snow or pollen – running outside can sometimes be really spoiled. Training on a treadmill is therefore a good alternative.
Treadmills are an extremely popular piece of equipment in the indoor fitness world. They are ideal for runners and anyone who wants to get in shape and exercise. And: a workout can be done at any time, regardless of whether it is warm or cold outside or the pollen is flying.
Although nature is left out, many people find themselves in a meditative flow when exercising without distractions or excuses. Most people also find it easy to run on treadmills because they are good for high-intensity training and are the safest form of running. In addition, the entertainment electronics that are often connected to the treadmill also make it entertaining.
However, beginners should choose a low speed setting and train for 15 to 20 minutes a maximum of two to three days a week. It is also good to concentrate on the basics at first and not worry about variety or uneven tempo.
Increase training slowly
Once you’ve gotten used to the movement sequence and the changed rolling motion on the treadmill, you can gradually increase the frequency of your training, then the volume and finally the intensity. If you also want to do strength training, you can also use the treadmill to warm up.
It is one of the best fitness machines for warming up before training. This is because it can quickly increase the heart rate and uses more muscles than other machines such as the bike. Usually, short sessions of 10 to 15 minutes are enough to get your circulation going properly.
